shankar0123 0729ee46e0 chore: sweep github.com/shankar0123/certctl URL refs to certctl-io/certctl
Post-transfer cosmetic + release-critical URL refresh after moving the
repo from github.com/shankar0123/certctl to github.com/certctl-io/certctl
(2026-05-03). GitHub HTTP redirects continue to forward old URLs forever,
so existing operators are not broken — but aligns the canonical
references with the new owner so:

- procurement engineers / contributors browsing the docs see the right
  URL on first read
- operators copying the agent install one-liner hit the new path
  directly without going through a redirect
- the Helm chart's default image repository points at the canonical org
  registry path
- the OnboardingWizard rendered to first-run UI users shows the new
  URL in the install snippets and doc anchor links
- the GitHub Actions release workflow pushes container images to
  ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent} (was: shankar0123)
- the release-notes Markdown body in release.yml — which gets stamped
  into every future release page — references the post-transfer
  cert-identity (cosign keyless signing now uses the certctl-io
  workflow URL) and the post-transfer SLSA provenance source-uri.
  Without this, every cosign verify / slsa-verifier command on a
  v2.1.0+ release would fail because the cert-identity-regexp would
  not match the signing identity GitHub Actions OIDC issues post-
  transfer. Old releases (v2.0.67 and earlier) keep their immutable
  release-notes pointing at the shankar0123 path and remain
  verifiable via their own published instructions.

Customer impact:
- Operators on ghcr.io/shankar0123/certctl-{server,agent}:latest
  silently freeze on whatever tag was current at transfer time. They
  get no errors; they just stop receiving updates. The next release
  notes need a one-line callout (Phase 3.1 of cowork/transfer-
  certctl-to-org.md) telling them to update their image path to
  ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent}.
- All other URLs (git clone, install one-liner, raw.githubusercontent
  URLs, browser links, GitHub API) continue to resolve via permanent
  HTTP redirects. The sweep is cosmetic for those.

Files swept (30 total):
  .github/workflows/release.yml — IMAGE_NAMESPACE, source-uri,
    cosign cert-identity-regexp, IMAGE= snippet (5 refs total).
  CHANGELOG.md, README.md — anchor links, badges, install one-liner,
    cosign verify snippets in operator-facing sections.
  api/openapi.yaml — info / externalDocs URLs.
  install-agent.sh — GITHUB_REPO const + systemd unit Documentation=
    field.
  deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md, deploy/helm/{CHART_SUMMARY,INDEX,
    INSTALLATION,README}.md, deploy/helm/certctl/{Chart.yaml,
    README.md,values.yaml}, deploy/helm/examples/values-*.yaml —
    chart docs + image repository defaults across dev / prod-ha
    overrides.
  docs/{certctl-for-cert-manager-users,connector-iis,connectors,
    migrate-from-acmesh,migrate-from-certbot,quickstart,test-env,
    why-certctl}.md — operator-facing doc URLs.
  examples/{acme-nginx,acme-wildcard-dns01,multi-issuer,
    private-ca-traefik,step-ca-haproxy}/docker-compose.yml +
    examples/step-ca-haproxy/step-ca-haproxy.md — example image:
    paths and accompanying narrative.
  web/src/pages/OnboardingWizard.tsx — first-run-UI URL refs (curl
    install one-liners, agent docker image path, doc anchor links).

Files intentionally NOT swept (Choice A from cowork/transfer-certctl-
to-org.md):
  go.mod, go.sum — module declaration stays github.com/shankar0123/
    certctl. Existing imports compile because Go uses the path
    declared in go.mod, not the URL it was fetched from. Internal-
    only project; no external Go consumers; rename will land as a
    mechanical sed when one materializes.
  ~250 *.go files — every import remains github.com/shankar0123/
    certctl/internal/...
  deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/go.mod — separate test sub-module;
    same Choice A logic; module path stays.

Files intentionally NOT swept (other reasons):
  README.md lines 244-245 — Scarf-pixel docker-pull commands.
    shankar0123.docker.scarf.sh/... is a Scarf-account hostname
    (per-user, not per-repo) and the pixel keeps tracking pulls
    against the operator's personal Scarf account. Migrating to a
    certctl-io Scarf account is a separate decision (create org
    Scarf account → re-create package → update README).
  deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/f5-mock-icontrol — checked-in
    compiled binary with shankar0123/certctl baked into Go build
    info via the sub-module path. Out of scope for a URL sweep;
    will refresh on the next `make test-integration` rebuild.

Verification:
  gofmt: clean (no .go files touched).
  go vet ./...: clean (verified at this SHA in 1.3 of the transfer
    checklist; no .go changes since).
  go build ./...: clean (same).
  go test -short on representative packages: green (same).
  Diff shape: 30 files, 74 insertions / 74 deletions, net-zero size,
    pure URL substitution.
